Rename innodb_table_locks_old_behavior -> innodb_table_locks
Set innodb_table_locks to off by default to get same behaviour as in MySQL 4.0.20
(This means that Innodb ignore table locks by default, which makes it easier to combine MyISAM and InnoDB to simulate a transaction)
Simple optimzations and cleanups
Removed compiler warnings and fixed portability issues
Added client functions 'mysql_embedded()' to allow client to check if we are using embedded server
Fixes for purify
Change error code to HA_ERR_ROW_IS_REFERENCED if we cannot DROP a parent table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint; this error number is less misleading than the previous value HA_ERR_CANNOT_ADD_FOREIGN, but misleading still; we should introduce to 5.0 a proper MySQL error code
Fix bug #5137: if innodb_file_per_table was specified, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ... TYPE=InnoDB said that cannot find path specified, and made mysqld to exit(1)
Raise maximum column prefix len to 767 bytes, so that MySQL can create a column prefix index of 255 UTF-8 characters (each takes 3 bytes at the maximum); add comments about why innobase_get_at_most_n_mbchars() works ok
dict0mem.h:
Raise maximum column prefix len to 767 bytes, so that MySQL can create a column prefix index of 255 UTF-8 characters (each takes 3 bytes at the maximum)
row0mysql.c:
If MySQL tries to create a column prefix index longer that 255 UTF-8 characters, give an error, and drop the table from the InnoDB internal data dictionary. MySQL did not drop the table there in its own error handling.
A partial bugfix to a multibyte charset / column prefix index bug: my_charpos() does not handle right some cases, we try to mask the bug for ASCII chars < 128 in the UTF-8 charset
column types TIMESTAMP is NOT NULL by default, so in order to have
TIMESTAMP column holding NULL valaues you have to specify NULL as
one of its attributes (this needed for backward compatibility).
Main changes:
Replaced TABLE::timestamp_default_now/on_update_now members with
TABLE::timestamp_auto_set_type flag which is used everywhere
for determining if we should auto-set value of TIMESTAMP field
during this operation or not. We are also use Field_timestamp::set_time()
instead of handler::update_timestamp() in handlers.
Improve the comment on stored_select_lock_type
ha_innodb.cc:
Let InnoDB remember select_lock_type inside LOCK TABLES, also over plain consistent read SELECTs; fix Bug #5538 : assertion failure when using mysqldump with the -l option; in MERGING this patch to 4.1, there may be PROBLEMS; that is because previous patch was never merged to 4.1; Heikki Tuuri has to polish the code in 4.1 after this patch has been merged.
* Renamed handler::estimate_number_of_rows to handler::estimate_rows_upper_bound function, which can also return "unknown"
* made filesort to use full sort buffer if number of rows to sort is not known.
If ALTER TABLE ... DROP FOREIGN KEY ... fails because of a wrong constraint name, return a table handler error number 150 instead of 152; the value 152 was misleading, as it referred to '152 = Cannot delete a parent row', whereas '150 = Foreign key constraint is incorrectly formed' is less misleading
innobase_mysql_tmpfile(): call dup() and my_close() on the file
returned by create_temp_file()
in order to avoid memory leak caused by my_open() being paired with close()
Changes for NetWare to exit the InnoDB gracefully instead of crashing the server (patch by PRam@novell.com, polished a little by Heikki Tuuri)

next-key locking. Using this option the locks InnoDB sets on index
records do not affect the ``gap'' before that index record. Thus, this option
allows phantom problem.
more logical table/index_flags
return HA_ERR_WRONG_COMMAND instead of abstract methods where appropriate
max_keys and other limits renamed to max_supported_keys/etc
max_keys/etc are now wrappers to max_supported_keys/etc
ha_index_init/ha_rnd_init/ha_index_end/ha_rnd_end are now wrappers to real {index,rnd}_{init,end} to enforce strict pairing
